Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question that is not listed here? Send us a note and our team will respond with a clear, practical answer tailored to your product and market.

Accessibility certification is a formal, evidence backed attestation that your product meets a defined level of WCAG conformance, most commonly WCAG 2.2 AA. It is not a government license. Instead, it is a structured set of documents that a buyer, auditor, or legal reviewer can examine to confirm how you tested and what you achieved.
Our package includes a VPAT or ACR, a signed conformance letter, and a public facing accessibility statement. Each item cites your scope, environments, assistive tech coverage, and any residual exceptions. The result is clarity for procurement and confidence for leadership.

If you sell to enterprises or the public sector in India or globally, a VPAT or ACR is often required during security and compliance reviews. The VPAT is the standardized template and the ACR is the completed report that explains how your product supports each criterion. Many RFPs in the USA, Canada, UK, and EU request it by default, and Indian buyers increasingly expect similar documentation to prove readiness.
We prepare your ACR using the latest VPAT template and map results to WCAG 2.2 AA. For global sales, we add a jurisdiction crosswalk so the same evidence answers common requirements tied to ADA, Section 508, and EN 301 549.

Real world credibility comes from verifying key flows with assistive technology and keyboard only operation. We define tasks such as sign in, search, checkout, and document viewing, then run them on agreed devices and versions for NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
We capture short clips, expected announcements, and focus order to show how users experience your product. These AT pass notes appear in the evidence annex and inform the final status in your VPAT or ACR, so reviewers see practical accessibility, not theory.

For a single web app with clear audit outputs, most certifications complete in 2 to 4 weeks depending on scope and the number of templates or flows. Larger portfolios or multi app environments may require staged delivery, starting with high priority products first.
Certification reflects a point in time. We recommend renewal every 12 months or after major releases that change navigation, components, or content structure. A light surveillance check between releases helps keep artifacts current without a full retest.

Certification does not require perfection. When issues remain, we document them as exceptions with severity, user impact, and mitigation such as alternative instructions, support steps, or a temporary content update. Owners and target dates are listed so stakeholders can track progress.
If a third party component blocks a fix, we record the dependency and add vendor follow up notes. Your ACR remains honest and reviewable, and procurement can proceed with a clear understanding of current risk and the path to closure.

Our certification package typically includes a VPAT or ACR, a signed conformance letter, an accessibility statement, an exceptions and mitigation register, and an AT validation summary. Each artifact is evidence backed and written in plain language so procurement and legal teams can verify and approve quickly. We align to WCAG 2.2 AA and map to India first and global next requirements where needed.

Increasingly, yes. Large enterprises and public sector buyers in India ask for formal accessibility proof during vendor onboarding. A VPAT or ACR demonstrates due diligence and speeds reviews. If you also sell in USA, Canada, UK, or EU, we add a crosswalk so one package serves multiple jurisdictions without rework.

For a single web app with a recent audit and clear scope, plan for 2 to 4 weeks. Multi app portfolios or complex authenticated flows can take longer and are best delivered in stages. We confirm your timeline during scoping and set predictable milestones so your RFP or renewal stays on schedule.

A senior accessibility lead at Aarav Infotech signs the letter with date, scope, and version details. The letter reflects a point in time, so we recommend an annual refresh or a renewal after major releases. We also offer semi annual surveillance to keep the artifacts current with minimal effort.

Yes. Certification does not require perfection. We document residual exceptions with severity, user impact, and mitigation steps, plus owner and target date. This transparency helps reviewers proceed with a clear understanding of risk and a plan to close gaps.

We test critical flows with keyboard only and screen readers on defined devices and versions such as NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. We capture short clips, expected announcements, and focus order. The AT pass notes appear in your evidence annex and inform final statuses in the VPAT or ACR.

Yes. We support web, SPAs, native Android and iOS, and common document types including PDFs and office files. For documents, we verify tagging, reading order, alt text, tables, and form fields. For mobile, we confirm AT gestures, focus behavior, labels, and announcements on agreed devices.

Scope drives effort - number of apps, templates, and critical flows - plus the level of AT validation, jurisdictions to map, and whether we include document or media coverage. During scoping we propose a practical package that meets your buyer expectations without over engineering.

We record the dependency, note its impact, and document safe use guidance or alternatives where possible. We also include vendor follow up notes. Your ACR remains honest and reviewable, and procurement can move forward with a clear plan for closure.

Strongly written VPAT or ACR documents with clear rationale, AT validation, and jurisdiction mapping often lift technical and compliance scoring. Reviewers spend less time asking follow ups and more time checking boxes, which helps you progress to the next stage faster.

Absolutely. We provide developer ready notes with selectors, repro steps, and token level guidance, plus a retest checklist for QA. If your team ships fixes mid process, we can run focused validation and update the artifacts without resetting the timeline.

Yes. We sign standard NDAs and limit data to what is required for testing and evidence. Files are stored securely with version control and sensible retention. We share only the artifacts and annexes needed for your certification and procurement use.

We set an annual or semi annual renewal plan based on your release cadence. Between renewals, we can run light surveillance checks on key flows. At renewal, we update the VPAT or ACR, the conformance letter, and the exceptions register, preserving version history for audit traceability.

Yes. We create a readable statement that explains scope, contact options, and known limitations in plain language. This reduces support load, sets accurate expectations, and demonstrates your commitment to inclusion.

If you do not have recent audit outputs, we begin with a quick gap scan to establish a baseline. For larger surfaces, we recommend a focused audit first, followed by certification. This path gives you credible proof without wasting effort on low value documentation.

The Power of Certification in Accessibility

Accessibility certification is not just a compliance checkbox - it is a business asset. It transforms your accessibility journey into verified proof that helps you earn trust, win tenders, and enter regulated markets. For many organizations in India, USA, UK, and beyond, certification is the bridge between doing the right thing for inclusion and proving that it has been done properly.

At Aarav Infotech, certification is built on evidence, transparency, and credibility. Every document we deliver - whether a VPAT, ACR, or conformance letter - carries traceable proof of testing, validation, and review. We combine our decade of experience in accessibility remediation, WCAG audits, and assistive technology validation to ensure your proof is both technically accurate and procurement-ready.

Our focus is simple: we help you move from compliance uncertainty to documented confidence.

Why Certification Matters for Modern Businesses

In an increasingly digital economy, accessibility is not an optional enhancement - it is a legal and ethical responsibility. From India’s IS 17802 and SEBI accessibility guidelines to Section 508 in the USA and EN 301 549 in Europe, accessibility expectations are rising. Buyers, government bodies, and even investors are demanding tangible evidence that digital products are inclusive.

Accessibility certification from Aarav Infotech provides that proof. It showcases that your brand takes accessibility seriously, adheres to global best practices, and respects the rights of every user. Beyond compliance, certification unlocks:

  • Procurement readiness: You can instantly submit validated documents during RFPs.

  • Market expansion: Meet accessibility requirements across India, North America, and Europe with one cross-mapped package.

  • Reduced legal exposure: Transparent documentation lowers risk of litigation or non-compliance penalties.

  • Brand trust: Accessibility proof communicates inclusivity and care - values that modern customers reward.

By transforming accessibility work into structured, evidence-backed certification, we help you turn compliance into a competitive advantage.

Our Certification Framework

Our framework is built around five pillars - Verification, Validation, Documentation, Transparency, and Renewal.

  1. Verification:
    Every certification begins with a detailed review of your existing accessibility posture. We verify WCAG 2.2 AA coverage, scope of platforms, and previous remediation.

  2. Validation:
    We run assistive technology checks on real devices and browsers, ensuring the proof represents true user experiences - not just automated scans.

  3. Documentation:
    Each outcome is converted into a structured VPAT, ACR, and conformance letter with plain language rationale, sign-off details, and supporting evidence.

  4. Transparency:
    Exceptions, partial supports, and third-party dependencies are clearly logged. Nothing is hidden, so reviewers trust your documentation instantly.

  5. Renewal:
    Annual or semi-annual renewal cycles ensure that your certification remains valid and aligned with evolving standards, new releases, and updated regulations.

This five-step framework ensures consistency, credibility, and continuous improvement across all certified projects.

Global Compliance and Indian Readiness

Accessibility compliance is not one-size-fits-all. Different jurisdictions demand different documentation styles and proof mechanisms. Aarav Infotech’s certification framework addresses this challenge with a multi-jurisdictional crosswalk approach.

We align WCAG 2.2 AA results to multiple international and Indian benchmarks:

  • India: IS 17802, SEBI accessibility circulars, GIGW 3.0 guidelines.

  • USA: Section 508 and ADA Title III conformance requirements.

  • Europe & UK: EN 301 549 and Equality Act accessibility obligations.

  • Canada: AODA and federal accessibility laws.

Our process ensures that a single certification package serves all these territories. For Indian organizations expanding globally or multinationals selling to Indian enterprises, this single framework saves immense time and compliance cost.

Real-World Use Cases of Accessibility Certification

1. Enterprise Procurement

Large buyers, especially in BFSI, telecom, and government sectors, now require a VPAT or ACR before onboarding a vendor. With our certification, you can confidently submit proof that passes their compliance checklist without delays.

2. SaaS Product Launches

If you are launching a SaaS product in India or abroad, accessibility certification acts as a ready-to-share compliance document during due diligence or partnership negotiations.

3. Funding and M&A Readiness

Investors and acquirers increasingly demand proof that digital assets are compliant and low-risk. A formal conformance package from Aarav Infotech helps close deals faster by reducing uncertainty.

4. Government and PSU Projects

Many Indian tenders now include mandatory WCAG or IS 17802 compliance. Our certification ensures you meet those criteria with an official artifact accepted by review committees.

5. Brand Reputation and CSR

Publicly releasing an accessibility statement demonstrates social responsibility. It positions your brand as inclusive, forward-looking, and genuinely people-centered.

The Aarav Infotech Approach: Precision, Evidence, and Accountability

Unlike automated certificates that promise instant compliance, our certification process is rooted in accountability. We don’t just declare; we demonstrate.

Our accessibility engineers, IAAP-certified professionals, and assistive technology testers collaborate through a structured workflow:

  • Evidence-backed Testing: Each claim is supported by screenshots, HTML snippets, and AT pass results.

  • Human + Automation Balance: We combine automated scans with manual and assistive tech verification for complete accuracy.

  • Traceability: Every line of proof links to a test ID, making validation transparent for auditors.

  • Legal and Procurement Readiness: Our reports use plain, verifiable language that aligns with buyer templates and legal requirements.

  • Long-term Retention: All certification documents are version-controlled, making renewals simple and auditable.

This method ensures that every certified product carries traceable authenticity.

Typical Deliverables in a Certification Package

When you complete a certification engagement with Aarav Infotech, you receive a structured documentation suite ready for submission:

  1. VPAT/ACR Document: A complete record of each WCAG criterion with status and rationale.

  2. Conformance Letter: A signed one-pager confirming your accessibility level, version, and sign-off date.

  3. AT Validation Matrix: Device and assistive tech coverage, observed results, and supporting media.

  4. Exceptions Register: Transparent disclosure of residual risks with owner, mitigation, and target closure.

  5. Public Accessibility Statement: Readable website statement to communicate inclusion to end-users.

  6. Renewal Plan: Annual or semi-annual cycle with light surveillance checks and delta-only validation.

Each deliverable is clean, consistent, and buyer-friendly.

The Role of AT Validation in Certification

Assistive Technology (AT) validation is what gives accessibility proof its real-world credibility. Without it, certification risks becoming a theoretical exercise.

Our AT validation covers:

  • Keyboard-only navigation

  • NVDA and JAWS (Windows)

  • VoiceOver (Mac and iOS)

  • TalkBack (Android)

  • Zoom and magnification workflows

  • Switch or alternate input devices

By simulating real user journeys, we identify practical issues like hidden focus, mislabelled controls, and missing announcements - aspects that automated tools often overlook. This ensures your proof truly reflects usability, not just technical compliance.

How We Support Legal and Procurement Teams

Procurement teams often face uncertainty interpreting accessibility claims. Aarav Infotech simplifies this through plain language documentation and reviewer notes that anticipate legal and compliance queries.

We provide:

  • Executive summaries for leadership approval.

  • Scope statements and limitations to set clear boundaries.

  • Signer details and dates for audit traceability.

  • Rationale explanations that use familiar business terms instead of technical jargon.

  • Reviewer support lines for clarification during vendor onboarding.

This proactive structure means fewer back-and-forth emails, faster approvals, and higher confidence across departments.

Certification Renewal and Surveillance

Accessibility is not static - new releases, design updates, and CMS migrations can introduce regressions. That’s why our certification includes a renewal and surveillance cycle.

  • Annual refresh: A full verification of updated pages and flows.

  • Semi-annual surveillance: Light review focusing on new templates or major content updates.

  • Delta-only verification: Checks only modified sections to save time and cost.

  • Version logs: Each update is versioned with date and responsible staff details.

This approach ensures continuous compliance while maintaining efficiency.

How Certification Drives Business Growth

A well-documented accessibility certification directly supports business growth. Organizations that display verified accessibility credentials experience:

  • Higher trust from enterprise buyers who prioritize risk-free vendors.

  • Faster contract closures due to pre-verified compliance.

  • Improved SEO and discoverability, since accessible websites often perform better on search engines.

  • Better user satisfaction and retention, thanks to inclusive experiences.

  • Enhanced investor confidence, seeing governance and risk management maturity.

In essence, accessibility certification is not an expense - it’s an investment that returns both credibility and customers.

Common Myths About Accessibility Certification

Myth 1: Certification means 100% compliance.
Reality: Certification documents your verified conformance level and remaining exceptions transparently. It shows active commitment, not unrealistic perfection.

Myth 2: Automated tools can generate certification instantly.
Reality: No automated tool can replace human AT validation. Our certification is built on real testing, not templates filled by scripts.

Myth 3: Certification is only for large enterprises.
Reality: Even startups and SMBs benefit. It strengthens trust with clients, reduces friction in procurement, and supports inclusive branding.

Myth 4: Certification is a one-time activity.
Reality: Accessibility evolves. Regular renewals ensure continued alignment with changing standards, devices, and frameworks.

Our Commitment to Ethical Accessibility Proof

At Aarav Infotech, we never issue certificates without evidence. Every conformance letter and VPAT is supported by real test data and internal review. We believe accessibility certification should always remain ethical - honest about limitations and clear about scope.

Our goal is to elevate the industry standard by promoting truthful, evidence-based certification that organizations can confidently stand behind. That is why leading Indian enterprises and international partners trust our process for their official documentation.
